My feeble attempt at making music and guitar riff challenges. If you’re here, you’ve reached the end of the Internet.
#raineyriffchallenge003 “Insert Title Here”
I’ve been out of the loop for the past couple of weeks. Life decided I needed an ass kicking, starting immediately and so proceeded in doing so. But I’m here, I got a good idea down and ended up with a pretty cool end result. I probably won’t be submitting for the next couple of SWOLA’s but I promised I’d make this one so here it is!! Also had the plushie make an appearance again as it’s easier than doing 57 takes trying to recreate the solo I freehanded. Hope you like it and enjoy!!

Ok, so 100% full disclosure, I made sure to clear up that any bleeding ears from my singing wouldn’t be my fault, ya’ll had a clear warning beforehand!!! Also, I used the Waves Tune RT (off brand auto tune) and I STILL sound that bad!!! I also lowered my voice volume substantially… The song lyrics were written 99% by my daughter as clearly inspired by a cartoon movie and the derpy plushy from t...

So I’m way out of my comfort zone here trying to write in some orchestral parts for my submission. It’s my first time so I don’t have the dynamics right yet not to mention I know absolutely nothing about orchestral composition nor music theory. But I’ll never learn if I don’t try so fuck it, here goes. Thanks for watching, hope you like it!!🤘🤘🤘 #metal #swolariffchallenge #swola #guitar #chuglif...

This one almost broke me, it was nightmare fuel for my hate of time signature changes. 6/8 to 4/4 to 3/4 if I got the timing right. Did the best I could so I hope you liked it and thanks for watching!! #metal #swola #swolariffchallenge #riffchallenge #guitar #chuglife #ink #guitarist #

I’m incredibly early on this one but I’m probably gonna be super busy that week so here it is. It’s been done for just over a week now and it’s the last one I made using my old DAW before moving to Cubasis 3. I also mic’d up my amp so this is one isn’t using IR’s or anything. A Shure 57 on a Marshall amp through a mixer and into the DAW. I wish I could do it more often but as far as recording g...

More thrashy drums to help get me in the holiday spirit!! This time it was more an 80’s Slayer influence, I hope I did it justice. Thanks for watching, and Merry Christmas!!🤘🤘🤘 #swola #swolariffchallenge #metal #ink #guitar #thrash #chuglife

These drums are super groovy, so I actually wrote some lyrics!! It was very Texas Hippy Coalition oriented, basically a stripper song!!🤘😂🤘 I’m not necessarily self-conscious about my voice, but I recorded a single verse and NOPE’d out of there… it was like cats in a blender and the blender’s in a dumpster and the dumpster is on fire… so that’s why the middle is kinda empty. Also, I recorded thi...

Very thrashy drums. I needed something upbeat to help my mood after a family loss last week. I was gonna add a bit more but the guitar was pretty much recorded in the second take and it sounded great for the drums. I hope you enjoyed and thanks for watching. Que descanses en paz, abuelo. #swola #metal #guitar #guitarist #swolariffchallenge #riffchallenge #chuglife

I got a chance to come early to the party for this Swola. I like the intro but the syncopated middle section throws me off, I’m much more groove minded so the off-time stuff to me feels interrupted. The ending is just pure Metal fun!!! Full disclosure I recorded the actual music with a different guitar but the ES-335 just happened to also be tuned to Eb and I don’t play it near enough so I got ...

Nevermind my face, I’m tired beyond belief and still have to get prepared to go to work. This one was pretty groovy and I made it work with only two chords!! If Break Stuff works with one chord played four ways I can make two chords work!!😂😂 Thanks for watching!!🤘🤘 #swola #swolariffchallenge #metal #chuglife #guitar #guitarist #metalguitar

A very thrashy drum track in my opinion and I was just in the mood for some E standard riffs anyways so it works. Almost forgot to record the video, so here you go!! Enjoy and thanks for watching!! #swola #swolariffchallenge #metal #chuglife #metalguitar #ibanez #ibanezrg550
#raineyriffchallenge002 My first Rainey Riff Challenge entry because I missed the first one…🤷♂️
Переглядів 282 місяці тому
I guess I was living under a rock or something, but I missed the first challenge so here is my first entry. I’ve been on an 80’s metal listening binge and I think it shows on my playing style. The drums were really fun to write riffs for and the length was perfect to get a good groove going. #belarisrainey #rainelyriffchellenge002 #metal #guitar #riffchallenge

In keeping with the video game theme I sprinkled some 8-bit synth sounds on the song, I tried to write a lick that sounds like it’s part of a video game but I do this to burn stress and just enjoy the process of writing music so nothing serious, just like my other vids. It’s all for fun. #swola #metal #swolariffchallenge #chuglife #gameover #blackmetal #thrashmetal #videogames

So I did write some riffs for #swola212 but between work and being ill I just didn’t want to bother with a video. So I’m back for 213. I must still be sick thinking I could do a lead solo run but I won’t get better if I don’t try it either. Also the derpy Toothless is my new studio pet, name is still pending. #metal #swola #guitar #swolariffchallenge #chuglife
#SWOLA211: My Guilty Little Pleasure
Переглядів 383 місяці тому
So last week’s vid was basically me saying how much I love old school thrash, death metal is also my other big love. Sometimes, though, every now and then I want to jam a bit of the unspoken metal. Metal which reigned at a time where hair was bigger than the guitars and the kings were a Crüe of Mötley guys who could Kickstart the Heart of a (Glam)orous movement. That’s enough clues … I hope you...

Broooo, first of all: Thank you so much for prioritizing my riff challenge! 🙏🏻❤️ It makes me very happy to read how important it is for you to be a part of it! I absolutely appreciate that. I love what you did with my drumtrack and it's great to see the dragon again 😁 Very well done, man! Thanks for participating and for sharing! 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
Belaris, you’re welcome bro!! I told you I was gonna participate!! I was feeling bad because it took me so long to make an entry, the month of January seemed to be a year long!! Thank you for your kind words and keep the challenges coming!! 🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘
@Aceofspeed 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Amazing entry, man! We believed in you and we knew that (plush) toucan do it! 😅 Killer riffs, man! 🤘👽🤘
😂😂😂 never thought about it as a toucan!!! It's a plushie of the dancing dragon meme made by the same creator!! So technically it's a meme dragon based on Toothless!! I needed to sit down and play guitar and write music to help with the stress. Thank you for the kind words also!! 🤘🤘🤘
@@Aceofspeed fair enough, but the word toucan worked better with the word play than dragon would have 🤷🤣
Bro, would you believe I understood the word play of the toucan about a half second after I hit reply… I’ve been so tired and stressed trust it didn’t click. My face afterwards was like 🙄😂😂
@@Aceofspeed 🤣🤣🤣
Sounds cool! Great riffs 🤘🤘🤘
Thank you so much, Zarochi!!!🤘🤘🤘
At Dawn! We ride to victory! 🤘📯🤘
Till Valhalla!!! 🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥
Super groovy! You definitely nailed the 70s rock feel 🤘🤘🤘
Zarochi thank you so much!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Well done 👌🎶
Thank you so much!!!🤘🤘🤘
Always fun to try new things out! Sounds really cool! Well done man! 🤘🔥
Andy thank you so much!!🤘🤘🤘
Amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much!!! Glad you liked it!!🤘🤘🤘
super😂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ilia thank you so much!!!🤘🤘🤘
Cool composition, man👊💀🤘
BalashToth Thank you so much bro!!!🤘🤘🤘
Epic!
Oilid thank you so much!!!🤘🤘🤘
Sounds great, Bro!
Heikenen thank you so much bro!!🤘🤘🤘
Great compostion. Love the background keys as they add such a nmice texture to this.
Thank you!!🤘🤘🤘
Very fitting riffs to these drums man! Well done! Awesome to have your daughter in on it too! 🔥🙂
Andy, thank you so much bro!!! Hopefully the music bug will bite her also!!!🤘🤘🤘
HA! That's absolutely amazing!!!!!!! 🤘👽🤘 Especially with the lyrics written by your daughter, that's so sweet! 😅 Love the Zep' vibes, totally cool stuff, my bro!!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘👽🤘🤘🤘
Dave, thank you!! She’s helped me before but I think she really, really enjoyed herself on this one!! Myself also, I haven’t really sat down to just play old school rock licks in a long time. I hope your ears recover quickly from my aural assault!!😂🤘😂🤘😂🤘
@@Aceofspeed no assault was taken, you might be too critical of yourself, it went well with the oldschool riffs🤘👽🤘
Remember I was using a form of autotune, but thank you nonetheless, I may try to sing again… maybe… 🤘😂🤘
That actually wasn't too bad, at all! Quite entertaining and the guitar work sounds great! I love how you involved your family into the process! The whole track has a great vibe! Well done, bro! 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
Thanks a lot, Belaris!! It was great fun, but I know what I sound like!!😂😂 My old band used to turn off my mic when I was singing backup vocals 🤷♂️😂
Heavy track bro! Sounds great! Well done! 🤘🔥
Andy, thanks so much bro!!! 🤘🤘🤘 I only replied a week late…🤦♂️😂
Killer riffage 🤘
BalashToth thanks so much man!!!🤘🤘🤘
Heavy and sludgy entry! So nasty! Great!
Oilid, thank you so much man!!! 🤘🤘🤘
@Aceofspeed 🤟
EPIC entry, bro! Killer riffs and really cool orchestration! 🤘👽🤘 I also wanted to crack a joke about S as small and M as medium being in the title and this being HUGE 😅 It's amazing, man!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Dave, thank you so much!!! BTW I am working on your challenge as I type, just needed to take a small break. I hope I live up to your expectations as your words humble me. I’m just an amateur writing music for the love of it and to burn stress, thanks again!! 🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥
@@Aceofspeed wow, super cool, bro! Btw most of us on these challenges are in similar situation, we just love writing music and that's it. No need to feel any sort of pressure, I'm sure it will be fantastic. Have fun during the process, that's the only key. 🤘👽🤘
Awesome Kevin, Sounds Great! Keep it up!! \m/
Tony, thank you so much!!!🤘🤘🤘
@@Aceofspeed welcome Brother \m/
Great entry, man! I love that you keep on trying new and different things, like orchestra stuff. I did that on my Swola 223 and it's been a lot of fun. Absolutely enjoyed your track! Well done, buddy! 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
Belaris, thank you so much for your encouragement and kind words!! I’ve been wanting to try this before but I always felt overwhelmed with the amount of instruments and kept putting it off. I finally decided on it and I’m pleasantly surprised by the outcome. But I need to dedicate many more hours of study and work to where I’ll be truly happy with the end result. 🤘🤘🤘
@Aceofspeed 🤜🏻🤛🏻
So I left a white text edit blank on the video… oh, well… enjoy my faux pas!!!
Killer grooves🤘
BalashToth thanks so much!!!🤘🤘🤘
Fantastic Sounds 🎶🔝🔥
Thank you so much!!!🤘🤘🤘
That's heavy! Sounds brutal man! Well done bro! 🔥🤘
Andy, thank you so much!!!🤘🤘🤘
Great riffing over these tricky drums! Well done! 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
Belaris, thank you so much!! Tricky is right, I had a difficult time adjusting to the time signature changes!! 🤘🤘🤘
Great groovy riffing and tasty leads! Well done! 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
Thanks so much, Belaris!!🤘🤘🤘
Killer riffage, bro! 🤘👽🤘
Thank you so much, Dave!!🤘🤘🤘
Love your description! lol You managed to do a GREAT entry very smoothly!
Oilid thank you so much man!!! I racked my brain to the point that I was mentally drained but I’m satisfied with the results!!! 🤘🤘🤘
@Aceofspeed 👍👍👍
Very cool! Love the old school sounds going here :) Great entry!
Espen, thank you so much!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Really cool entry man! Well done bro! 🔥🤘 Happy holidays! 🎅🎄
Thanks a lot Andy!!! Merry Christmas!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Heavy riffage and cool leadwork there, buddy, well done! 🤘👽🤘
Dave, thank you so much!! I miss playing through a real amp often so the few times I can crank it up it’s always inspiring!! 🤘🤘🤘
Amazing riffage, man! 🤘👽🤘
Dave, thanks so much, man!!!🤘🤘🤘
Cool thrashy riffs🤘
BalashToth thanks man!!🤘🤘🤘
Well done, man! Great riffing! The bass is a little too present for my personal taste but overall it's a great track! Merry Christmas! 🤘🏻🎅🏻🤘🏻
Belaris, thanks man!! Trust me I know about the bass it’s been my #1 enemy in recording, mixing and mastering. I either get it too low, too present, too boomy, too much bottom end, ad nauseum… I’ll usually listen on my monitors then on my car or my headphones or earbuds. This time I went straight from my monitors and downloaded the video to UA-cam and then I heard the mix on my phone and earbuds… I promise you I’m working hard on fixing my bass overall!! 🤘🤘🤘
And Merry Christmas to you also!! 🤘🎅🤘
@Aceofspeed Don't worry, I've been down that road many times 😄 Mixing bass is tricky and I, too, have a tendency to mix the bass too present. Listening to your track on multiple devices is the way to go! Stay safe 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
Thrash for ever! Great entry, bro!
Oilid, thank you, man!!!🤘🤘🤘
Amazing tone🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks man!!🤘🤘🤘
Nice work man, definitely some 80s vibes. Like the video effect as well 🤘🤘 I was late to the first challenge and didn't complete my entry. Made sure I started as early as possible on this one and slowly built something.
I was also late for the first one, so I wanted to work hard on this one. I was thinking of adding a lead to this one but nothing came through so I left it as is. As for the effect I’m not much to look at so I added it for cinematic style!! 🤘😂🤘
@Aceofspeed I might still add a lead part on mine and upload at some point.
Groovy! Really cool composition man! Well done! 🔥🤘
Andy, thanks so much!!!🤘🤘🤘
Amazing, great stuff! 🤘👽🤘
Dave, thanks so much!!🤘🤘🤘
Some great southern vibes in this one! Great riffing and melodies, man! Very well done!
Thank you, Belaris!! Yeah, I’ve been listening to a lot of Texas Hippy Coalition and Pantera on top of the 80’s metal binge I’ve been on!!🤘🤘🤘
Very groovy! But it's too cold for me to strip! :)
Really nice entry man! Well done! 🔥🤘
Thank you, Andy!! 🤘🤘🤘
Well done, man! I thought I'd stop by and leave a sub and a comment! You seem to be a cool dude and I enjoy your content! Have a great day, buddy! 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
Belaris, thank you so much, man!! I’m humbled by your comment, it means a lot!! I’m just an amateur writing music and posting it to de-stress. 🤘🤘🤘
@Aceofspeed You're welcome, man! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great 80s sound 🤘🤘🤘
Zarochi, thank you!! I’ve been binging on the 80’s tunes and I guess it spilled over!! 🤘🤘🤘
Cool riffage, dude! 🤘👽🤘
Thank you, Dave!!!🔥🔥🔥
Cool riffs man🤘
Thank you, BalashToth!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Great entry, man. Music is a healer.
Thank you, Oilid!!! And music definitely helps heal!! Thank you, again!! 🔥🔥🔥
Sick work. And sorry for your loss, bro. Music is a great outlet. <3
Thanks brother!! And you’re totally right, it’s helped me through this and worse. 🤘🤘🤘
